Its a funny thing but the smallest details when you are looking for a job are actually the most important. I’ve never actually asked to see inside the ladies when I’ve been at a job interview but I’ve always wished I had once I got the job!

I’ve been a big fan of Joel Spolsky for some time, but he posted an advert to his site today that had me riveted. He’s looking for a sysadmin for Fog Creek, and in the advert he writes

“We’re still a small friendly company and we all eat lunch together every day at one big table.”

This is what I’m looking for in a company, this sums up my requirements for my entire working life, and he’s nailed it in a single sentence.
